Y'know how when you have two horses that are buddies, and you take one out for the day, the other slowly gets more anxious until at dinner time it's like "OMG whErE is Izzy. Did he get eaten by a bear?!?!" Well, Cass still had an equine mindset, and Hotaru had been gone for, like, hours.
I'm sure everything's fine, she told herself. If I just maybe see her for a few minutes or whatever, then I'll be able to go home and stop worrying and stuff.
And then she got to the festival, and the universe proved once again that she could never be too paranoid.
Now, running towards monsters was a very, very bad idea. Cass tried to make a habit of literally never doing it, like ever, but her mom was probably about to get eaten or something! (GOD, Mom. Like really? Again?)
Tripping every twenty meters or so, Cass awkwardly approached the festival grounds at top speed, "I've gotta find Hotaru," she announced, skidding to a halt in the mud and scanning for a shock of blonde hair.
